Blooming Eye Candy

Almost spring. Snow drops on the sun porch bought to be planted in the ground. This is what happens when you don't plant what you buy. Actually I just planted some allium, narcissus, and tulips yesterday, shame on me. What else is blooming? Two forced hyacinths in the house and some tulips brought yesterday from the produce market. Also larkspur, carnations, and scabiosa to make an arrangement. Scabiosa are beautiful. Haven't seen them in the market before. I sowed seeds of the plain pale purple ones but they haven't germinated. Probably better to have self sown. I'll have to find seeds of other varieties because they're beautiful but must flop because each flower has a plastic sleeve to hold up the head. My container bulbs are waiting to fully emerge, soon. It was hard to pass on the pansies yesterday, just beautiful. I'm trying to wait for the ones I sowed to reach a good size and I'll harden them off and put in my containers. Can't wait.
